About

ArsenTech's ClamAV GUI is a minimal, open-source interface for file scanning and threat detection that makes the Antivirus itself look professional and work exactly like ClamAV (A FOSS CLI Antivirus).

Built with Tauri, React, and modern desktop and web tools. This software is provided as-is. No data is collected or transmitted. This GUI uses ClamAV's clamscan and freshclam engines. Scan types are presets that define which locations and which limits are used.

Features

• State-gated UI - Detects the ClamAV installation path before launching the software
• Main and Full Scan - Scan the entire device for malicious files and malware
• Custom and File Scan - Scan the mentioned folder/file for malware
• Resolving infected files after scan - It includes actions like Quarantine and Delete
• Definitions Updater - Update the definitions database directly from the GUI
• Quarantine - Manage infected threats after scanning
• History - View the entire GUI actions history and manage it + view or reveal logs
• Antivirus Statistics - View the entire Antivirus Dashboard and Statistics + some real-time device stats
• Real-Time Performance Stats - CPU, RAM Usage, and Disk Usage Stats all without leaving the GUI
• Flags - Launch Full Scan and Main Scan Directly if needed
• Scheduler - Schedule some scans if needed + manage other scheduled scan jobs
• Real-Time Scan - Monitors file activity and scans files when they change. It doesn't install kernel drivers.
• Settings - Tweak some options on ClamAV GUI if needed (Such as Scan Options, Appearance, and others)

Other Features

• Skeleton Loader - A separate Skeleton loading on some pages for a clean UX
• Notifications - Be informed when the scan is started or finished, or a new threat has been detected
• System Tray - Quick Access through some actions, all by using a system tray
• Multilingual Support - Use the ClamAV GUI in your native language besides English
